Hi devs,

I've heard that the upgrade process is a complicated process and relies on
a lot of manual operations. I haven't investigated the technical solutions
we have at our disposal, but I tried to image the desired UI an
Administrator would want when upgrading:

* be notified that a new version is available:

* have an upgrade section in Administration where Distribution and
Extensions can be checked for new versions and upgraded / backed:

So, what are your thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Caty
